To the editor: Columnist Jackie Calmes accuses President Biden of complicity with Israel's continuing assault on Hamas. Doesn't the president's advocacy of a cease-fire also suggest complicity in allowing Hamas time to re-arm and strike again at a later date, which it has vowed to do? Calmes says that Israel has lost the "global goodwill" that came in the aftermath of Hamas' attack on Oct. 7. Where did that sudden surge in new global goodwill come from?

To the editor: Don't the legislators and activists trying to ban abortion realize that the decision to seek one is extremely complex? Many arrive at their decision after considering many factors, and it's often a heart-wrenching choice of last resort. ("Arizona's ban on abortion sets up the swing state for an election 2024 showdown," April 9) Why not consider some plans that would actually reduce the number of abortions without robbing women of their rights or turning healthcare providers into...

Flipped Eclipse? I think the time-lapse picture of the eclipse on the cover of the April 10 issue is flipped. We watched from Montpelier, and the shadow wedge entered from the bottom and traveled up the sun. After totality, there was a sudden wedge of bright white light at the bottom that looked like the sun was shining a spotlight on us. It was not the golden sunlight; it was brilliant white and produced sharp-edged shadows. At the end, there was not the wedge we started with; rather, it looked...

What Burlington Needs [Re "Burlington Council Advances South End, Memorial Auditorium Plans," March 11, online]: I do hope everyone realizes that the Memorial Auditorium block plan was voted on: Unanimously, city councilors have approved the budget item with the amendments that allow Memorial Auditorium to be torn down.
